Quick Quotes

Q. We'll start with an easy one. You had a pretty solid, consistent round today. What was going through your head? What kept you straight?

MARIAJO URIBE: Yeah, I had a couple tough tournaments when I came back the last two, L.A. one. So I wanted to focus on hitting fairways, hitting greens and giving myself chances, and it was working pretty well.

We got put on the clock the last two holes, so it got me a little bit out of rhythm, but other than that it was almost a bogey-free round, and I took advantage of the par-5s, and I feel pretty good.

Q. Speaking of that, how do you think the course played today? The greens looked a little fast.

MARIAJO URIBE: We were lucky. Not that much wind. A little bit, but not too bad. The weather was amazing. Pretty sunny. It played good. You had to take advantage of some shots. I hit really good my driver, so being on the fairway helps on this course. Other than that, it was playing pretty tough.

Q. So you hit 16 out of 18 greens, so pretty consistent. What was helping you find the green today?

MARIAJO URIBE: I think we were just being pretty smart on the short technique part of the game. We were just trying to hit the middle of the green. If are you in the middle of the green, you have a pretty good chance for birdie here, so we were just trying to do that. And then take advantage of the par-5 and be a little more aggressive. Other than that, just trying to do the fairways and greens game, and it worked out.
